I'd like to know how to create an image of irregular size. I'm at a loss for words as to how to describe what I'm trying to do, but I know that it is likely very easy to pull off. To see what I'm trying to do, visit this link:

The text wraps around the rectangular leaf image. I'd like to modify this image so that it only consists of the leaf, and so that the text will wrap around like this:

So basically, I need to know how to give the image an irregular shape (And maybe learn the proper term for this in the process Big Grin ).

Thanks

The thing is, the image is stll rectangular. What you want it transparency. All images are square, but transparanecy gives that effect.

take, fo example, my avatar. it looks like it has rounded edges, when in fact those edges do exist, they're just transparent. Try it yourself by using the eraser tool to reove part of an image. the .gif filetype supports transparency, so use that to save it. You'll see if you then post that image here, you'll be able to see that background colour of the web page throught he part you erased. that;'s all there is to it.

As for the text wrapping, I can't really help you there.
